It has been quite a few years since I have seen my Uncle but the memories are still there. When I was young we spent a lot of time together. I remember him coming down and spending time with our family. It's been awhile but the love remains Uncle Russ! May you sleep with the angels now. My sympathy to my Dad (Mark) and the rest of the family. God Bless you all!

Russ was a very generous and loving man. He would do anything for anyone. I spent a lot of time with he and his family while I was growing up. I will miss him dearly but am glad to have all of the happy memories.
